The aftermath of a handful of Republicans and all the Democrats in the US House of Representatives removing Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in a historical vote is one of confusion.

Democrats are being Democrats. They will vote for most anything that disrupts the Republicans. And Republicans are being Republicans, unable to find unity on much of anything. This is the case where eight congressmen changed the course of history. It should be an object lesson to all that if you believe in what you are doing and take a stand, even against seemingly insurmountable odds, you may be rewarded with success. Hopefully, the ousting of McCarthy will wake up Republicans and spur them to be a true opposition party.

For decades, Americans have seen Republicans in Congress talk a conservative, middle-America game. They make great proclamations about the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, fiscal responsibility, socialist healthcare, bodily autonomy, energy independence, freedom of speech, freedom of self-defense, religious freedom, voting integrity, border security, and the list goes on and on. But even when in the majority, Republicans have been unable to slow the Democrat juggernaut on the bulk of these issues.

It’s gotten so bad that the current Democratic Administration openly supports public school-sanctioned sexual grooming of our kids and redistributing multi-billions of our tax money to frivolous Democrat causes like climate change, Ukraine, and electric cars.

Republicans in Congress talk a good game. They tell us what we want to hear. They wrap their words in God and country and bundle them in the flag. We go out and vote, put them in office, and then they fold like lawn chairs in a summer breeze.

Folks, we didn’t get to record debt, record inflation, high gas prices, high food prices, racial disruption, COVID lockdowns, our religious rights and Constitutional rights being diminished to the point of persecution just by Democrat Marxist lunacy. We got there, in a large part, by Republican ineptitude in talking a good game but not playing to win. Essentially, big hat – no cattle. For too long, Republicans have been complacent because they know God-fearing conservatives won’t vote for the socialist party.

Just look at the judicial system. Democrats are misusing the law to persecute their opposition, yet Republicans sit around and wring their hands rather than stand against this coup of Marxist hegemony. Feckless doesn’t describe what we have witnessed. What eight congressmen did to oust McCarthy shook things up. Maybe it got these no-doer’s attention.

We are sailing perilous seas. It’s going to take bold action to right the good ship America.

My prayer is that in the days and months ahead, Republicans will actually unify and match their deeds with their words. For us peasants in the hinterland with a vote in our hand, may we discern and hold accountability.

As Christ said in Matthew 7:19-20, “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”

Time to build the fire.

Communist Chinese scientists at the Wuhan lab, where the COVID-19 virus likely came from, are predicting more coronavirus outbreaks are on the way.

Scientists at Wuhan published:

an online “Assessment and sero-diagnosis for coronaviruses with risk of human spillover” on July 7, which is just now making its way to the general public. The analysis “proposed 20 high-risk CoV species, including 6 of which jumped to human, 3 with evidence of spillover but not to human, and 11 without evidence of spillover yet, which predictions were further supported by an analysis of the history of CoV zoonosis.”

They state the obvious: “Zoonotic coronaviruses (CoVs) caused major human outbreaks in the last two decades.”

The scientists proclaim:

“One of the biggest challenges during future CoV disease is ensuring rapid detection and diagnosis at the early phase of a zoonotic event, and active surveillance to the zoonotic high-risk CoVs appears the best way at the present time to provide early warnings. However, there is neither an evaluation of spillover potential nor diagnosis tools for the majority of CoVs. Here, we analyzed the viral traits, including population, genetic diversity, receptor and host species for all 40 alpha- and beta-CoV species, where the human-infecting CoVs are from.”

Then, back to blaming the bats…

“We also found three major zoonotic sources: multiple bat-origin CoV species, the rodent-origin sub-genus Embecovirus, and the CoV species AlphaCoV1.”

They concluded:

“Moreover, the Rhinolophidae and Hipposideridae bats harbour a significantly higher proportion of human-threatening CoV species, whereas camel, civet, swine and pangolin could be important intermediate hosts during CoV zoonotic transmission…

“Finally, we established quick and sensitive serologic tools for a list of proposed high-risk CoVs and validated the methods in serum cross-reaction assays using hyper-immune rabbit sera or clinical samples. By comprehensive risk assessment of the potential human-infecting CoVs, our work provides a theoretical or practical basis for future CoV disease preparedness….

“Thus, the early preparation for the animal CoVs with risk of spillover is important for future disease preparedness, regarding the likely animal origin of SARS, MERS and COVID-19 [Citation2–4].”

When reading this “assessment,” one wonders:

• Is it a warning of sorts that Wuhan is going to see to it that these viruses are released into the worldwide environment?
• Are they developing viruses that crossover from animals to infect humans?
• Are they signaling this possible threat at a time when the World Health Organization is teetering on having nations allow WHO to take over infectious disease response?

These are all legitimate questions or thoughts given the last go-around where COVID-19 originated in Wuhan and was used as a worldwide test of population control and compliance. At any rate, beware and prepare for another round of fear-based propaganda and government strong-arming about your body.

As is written in Philippians 3:2, “Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.”

Bats, politicians, narratives. Take heed.
